The Writers' Guild of America is on STRIKE! What does that mean? What's happening with the Directors' Guild and Screen Actors' Guild? We delve into all the ins and outs with our friend, fellow Ramming Speed Pictures collaborator, and card-carrying IATSE member Scott McGrath. We discuss the history of WGA strikes, the demands being made, the interplay between the different unions' negotiations, and the role AI is playing in these latest rounds of negotiations. Also, Jack walks us through his experiences playing with ChatGPT. We hope this helps some folks understand what's at stake with this strike, and we hope you enjoy.
We support the members of the WGA in their efforts for fair compensation and the protection of their craft. If you'd like to support their efforts, you can learn how through the following links:
